This show was ok but the overall story and the writers went about it fairly bad.
People rocking up on the 1st show only to be attacked by another group, then have the animals attacking them later on, then being attacked from the future.
it's pretty messy they should have gone attacked by animals then maybe from the future then attacked from another group etc.
Overall though it's pretty silly to send people to that time as they will all be wiped out in their future.

@xtago It's a different time line. Didn't you see that one? That's how they don't have to worry about affecting the future time line.

I liked Terra Nova it was entertaining but im not sure about getting netflix just for a show BUT if they also pick up Firefly then i might consider IF the original cast comes back but im not sure how that would work cause if i remember right part of the cast gets killed off in Serenity.

Two things... TN was too simply written. They'd throw complex time storylines & character development at their audience & then try to let old Ozzy & Harriette style family frivolity fill in the rest of the gaps between commercial gaps. It's literally like the guy who thinks he's being funny when he jokes about his crabs in the showers of the locker rooms. Knock those idiotic contradictions out of the show & it could be better.
another thing surrounding the show is that getting NetNuts to start producing it bumpkiss. They haven't even gotten their first series off the ground & Hollywood is already pressuring them to take on new responsibilities? Pretty typical. I read in another site that it is probably more likely that the show may befall another production house rather than go NetNuts.
It's happened before & shows have taken on a new life & done considerable much better. Hell, STNG was completely syndicated & look at that success.

While we're at it, add Deadwood to that list.
I'd get Netflix if it gave me access to discontinued network shows.
Maybe make "concluding the series" a mandatory requirement.
Netflix would attract all the network cancelled show audiences.
They could probably pick up these cancellations for a song.
There is $$$ to be made here, Netflix.

I second that motion: bring back Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles and give it a proper send off!

You wondered where it went? It's only been off the air for a few months! :S I wasn't even aware that they were canceling it. Can't say I'm surprised though. I'm one of the people that LOVE the show, but it's obviously an expensive one. I say go for it netflix! I'm definitely into it :)
Please don't cancel falling skies!!!

what you expect from a bunch of gnomes knots that can not even come up with a original idea.
you can take all of the Hollywood writers, then put in a room an tell then to come up with a new idea.
and do you know what you should get, another remake of a 20 year old movie or even better a new rendition of a comic book that is it.
wood you expect any thing better, I do not, or how many remakes you have seen lately.
if it was not for marvel comics they be dead.
sin city, X men, ext,ext, or any b rated novels, and top of it all they can even fallow the plots or was it flops.
well its all the same to all of them , is it not.

What I saw of the program LR is right. It was too simply written. Too "Family Oriented" for the type of show, and way too confusing with the different plot lines.
That being said, this whole One-and-out for Sci-Fi shows is getting tired.
Sci Fi will fare MUCH better online.
There is a dichotomy building in the media world.
Broadcast TV needs viewers every week but needs to entertain even when episodes are missed. It needs to be able to grab new users mid-season. All of that makes the week to week reality shows or crime shows or even "creature of the week" shows, all very important to them...
But Sci-Fi/Fantasy watchers much prefer the model which is growing on-line. Where the story can take several seasons to fully develop. This type of show tends to alienate the random watcher.
For example, try to get into "Fringe" right now. It's tough. Far too much back-story. I love the show but there's no way I could get someone to "start" watching right now.
Only online makes these types of stories that we crave, doable.
I did not like Terra-Nova, but I'm glad someone is going to give them a chance. Maybe they'll rough it up a bit, knock the edges off and follow a consistent story arc. That would be great!
Oh, Im sorry... Did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?

YEAH! There's another show that could stand to be on the air for a while as well.

I agree whole heartedly. I can see where Hulu & the online community services would greatly appreciate this kind of audiences as you could 'back watch' several episodes & get into a series if that's what you wanted to do, so as to not be one of the crowd missing out on an elongated plot line like that of a '24' or Fringe.

IF they really wanna impress me, they should pick up Journeyman. That was a very good show in my opinion! I was devastated when it was cancelled :(

Well, if we're listing first season shows we want back I would have to put at the top of the list...
American Horror Story
and
Alphas
American Horror Story is not everyone's cup of tea, but if you are tired of the same ole stuff and you like Horror and are able to suspend belief for an hour or so, this show will blow you away...
But if you just come in on Season 2 you will be completely lost.
And the entire first season of Alphas was pretty much set-up. They haven't really found their stride yet. I hope they get the chance.

There's nothing to edit, my signature in settings is blank. My signature has been over 5 lines for about 10 years. I added some more lines last night not knowing about the rule. How could I react to your post ASAP, since I don't log in every day? I understand you're doing your job, but the reaction seemed a little harsh. I have been a very longtime, loyal member to this forum.

I have a question also: it seems like my character count was fine - was it the hard returns that caused the problem?
